HJRES 219 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Supporting the Head Start Workforce and Consistent Quality Programming".

HJRES 219 is a congressional resolution seeking to block a specific rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding Head Start programs. It directs Congress to disapprove the HHS rule titled "Supporting the Head Start Workforce and Consistent Quality Programming" (published August 2024), which would have established new standards for Head Start workforce practices and program quality. If passed, this resolution would prevent the HHS rule from taking effect, meaning it would have no legal force or impact on Head Start programs nationwide. The bill directly affects Head Start programs, which serve low-income children and families, by halting the implementation of the proposed HHS standards. This is a procedural disapproval measure under federal law, not a new policy.
